I wouldn't mind Jared, he's great. Though I always thought Andy should have been the third chair for Gamescast a long time ago.
According to his twitter account Jared Petty is now formerly of EA. Has to be him. Will support on Patreon for first time if so.
They tried to play it off on the morning show "people are trying to guess based on the silhouette when it's just a mario cutout lol" YOU AIN'T FOOLIN ME
Well Jared announced he quit his job and is a full time content creator now....he's gotta be the new host...right?
It'd be awesome...

Yeah, looking like it's Jared. Someone else I would love to watch on the shows is Anthony Gallegos.
He already said it wasn't him (unless it was misdirection).
I actually had a thought that it could possibly be Ryan Clements. Of course he'd need to leave PlayStation first, probably. So when the Blogcast came and went without mention of him leaving, I knew it wasn't him. He'd be a great pick-up, though.
Jared put out this tweet earlier
None of those links go to KindaFunny. Though I guess he could be doing all that plus KF work since it'd only be 1(?) afternoon a week for him to shoot his stuff on KF.

Hmm. Not sure if Greg is just messing around or just slipped up, but while Nick was doing resubs, Greg said "she". Nick was quick to say "he or she". Guess away!
Edit- Jared!

Just watched the MCU in Review video for Black Panther... I'm totally ok with people having differing opinions, but Nick initially wanting to put it below The Incredible Hulk is actually insane to me. And especially weird because on the morning show today I think he said he loved "90% of it," just not the action.
As for the new host I'm not too familiar with Jared but he seemed like a cool dude, looking forward to seeing him on future KFGDs and Gamescasts.

When I saw KF's teaser for their new recruit the other night, I was wondering why everyone was guessing Jared. I didn't know until earlier today that he quit his job at EA.
I loved his contributions to IGN, his podcast, and guest appearances, but having him back on a gaming centric show is wonderful news!

For a guy who is a "movie guy," Nick has absolutely horrendous taste in movies and his critiques are so paper thin.
Gave their movie reviews a second chance after being unable to stomach them anymore and they just confirmed that I should continue ignoring them. It's very cliche to say, but they really should stick to video games.
That just means he's passionate about movies, not that he claims to have the best taste. You disagreeing with him on movie opinions doesn't take away from that.
People get too caught up over what movies this man enjoys lol.

You boiling it down to "disagreeing with him on movie opinions" is completely disingenuous. I disagree with Greg, Tim, Andrea, Andy etc. on plenty of video game opinions, but the way they argue, explain and discuss their opinions makes sense and I can always see where they're coming from. So while I don't always agree with them I can always understand why they feel a certain way about a game and still enjoy hearing what they have to say. This isn't the case for Nick (or any KF member for that matter) when it comes to movies. The way he critiques movies rarely makes any logical sense, which is especially baffling for a guy who is so into the technical side of film and has spent a lifetime working on the other side of a camera. I also lost count of how many times he either got basic plot points wrong or even worse, straight up didn't remember key stretches of Black Panther. It honestly sounded like he didn't pay attention to the movie.
The whole jab ar "he supposed to be the movie guy" is disingenious, or just misguided. It just means he's passionate about it, nothing else. It doesn't mean he's the master at everything to do with them, or that he will be the best at following movies all the time or articulating why he feels a certain way about some of them.
I want a crossover where Tim and Mike watch a press conference, lol
Jared, great first show! Some thoughts:
Please don't encroach on the Baker's Dozen. It's Kevin's thing. You will find something!
Your enthusiasm for the medium is clear. You seem to draw upon your prior knowledge and rapport with your counterparts fairly effectively.
Sometimes it felt like you were going 100 miles a minute, particularly when you gush about a game. Although you speak eloquently, I wouldn't mind a slower pace. I noticed the same thing on Scoop! this week. I am sure you will get a feel over time.
Anyway, awesome job. Awesome you're on board.

Pretty sure he was probably just really excited/had some first time jitters. As he integrates into the team, I'm sure he'll very comfortably find his place :).
Kinda Funny is freaking insane right now. This week just further drives that point home.
I remember the day they left IGN watching their first stream from the spare bedroom. I remember the shock and initial sadness I had about them leaving IGN. I could never imagine they'd get to this point - and they're still growing.
They've been putting the best content they've ever had. The line-up of hosts and guests has been incredible. Their seasonal shows are fantastic. Party Mode is basically life. As someone who has been following the content back since Beyond and into GoG #1, I just think this is all insane and I had to share my thoughts. I know they lurk here on ResetEra and I just wanted to say thank you and how happy I am to be a fan. <3
Alright sappiness aside now, I've got to say I've really enjoyed Jared on the shows so far. I like the different dynamic he has brought a lot.

The expansion the people at KF have done just in the past 12 months has been insane. This crossover with the ladies at WGG, having Xavier freaking Woods from UUDD on the Morning Show, adding Gary and Jared...it's all awesome.
Plus, the MCU in Review. Never have I watched someone trash a film so excellently. "He's a moron!!" I was in tears.

You guys are doing great. I just hate that you've had all these great guests for KFGD during some of the most boring months for game announcements ever, but you can't control that. Keep up the good work.
It's been soooo good! MCU in Review is one of my most anticipated internet things each week.
If I may make a suggestion about a future potential series, I think it would be fun to have a show where Tim and Nick play FMV (full-motion video) games. They, as you probably know, have some of the "best" acting. One really good one (I actually tweeted at Tim and Nick about this for a potential Party Mode game) is a game called Late Shift. Despite being live-action, it plays out not too dissimilar to Until Dawn in the way you determine the direction of the story. It's out on many devices including PS4.

Great job on the hires. I think you guys nailed it on every single one! The content has been amazing as a result.
I constantly look forward to Xavier Woods and KF crossovers. I dont follow Xavier but he clicked with me fast af when he was first on the show years ago. Favorite guest.
KF has had so many great guests this week.
Great work recently, Greg! Lots of good content from KF.
